RELEASE ON THE KOOL KAT MUSIK
LABEL!It’s Karma It’s
Cool is the latest project from James Styring, formerly of The Popdogs and
B-Leaguers. He’s joined again by B-Leaguers bandmate, Mikey Barraclough(guitar/bass). The lineup is rounded
out by Martyn Bewick (guitar) and Danny Krash(drums).“They deliver pop
with jangly, shimmering, crunchy guitars and melodic hooks that come from the
heart and not the studio production line. If you’ve ever wondered what a
collaboration between Buddy Holly
and The La’swould sound
like, then the opening title track is pretty much your answer. Styring’s
distinct vocals are tougher but he still manages to sound wide-eyed and excited
to be fronting a pure poptastic outfit again. ‘Raised By Engineers’ is a quirky gem that
finds the perfect balance between modern Power Pop and the glorious Twee Pop
that Sarah Records used to release a few decades ago.‘Daydream Days’ is gentler but no less
melodic. The harmonies are more apparent here, adding more depth to their sound. Their dedication to
crafting a perfect Pop track is in full flight here. There’s a touch of
wistfulness here that adds a nice touch. WARNING: This thing grows claws and
sinks them deeper into your brain the more times you listen to it.” – Steve
